I honestly can't remember/find the name of this temple

whoops.

Either way, I met a precious old man with no teeth who blessed me and told me some stories about this temple. There were jewels, gold and beautiful bas relief's inside this temple in the inner sanctum. In the 70s when the Khmer Rouge ransacked all temples, they cut off all the religious imagery in this temple as it was sacrilegious to their "cause"...more to come on that.

this man was so cute...he said a prayer, flicked water all over me and tied this flower to my bracelet :)
